In addition to smelling great, Lavender Oil has amazing antimicrobial properties that minimise the chance of infection and scar tissue. The complex molecular structure of this essential oil also stimulates circulation, which supports cellular healing. If it gets rubbed by clothing or is exposed, 4 applications per day may be necessary. Apply small amount; rub it in gently and wipe off any access. There may be some residual dried blood on the bandage; this is not a cause for alarm.
Carefully clean the tattooed area with cold water and gentle antibacterial soap, using your fingers. Don't use a cloth, which can slough off ink and skin, affecting the tattoo's appearance and healing. Rinse the tattoo once more with clean, cool water, and pat dry using a clean towel. Leave the tattoo unbandaged for at least fifteen minutes, to allow it to completely dry.
Apply a thin layer of Tattoo Goo. Applying too much can prevent the skin from "breathing" and therefore stop it from healing properly. Do not scratch at it or peel the skin away. Let it naturally fall off. Use lotion to keep the area moist. Peeling, flaking, ashy, dry are all words to describe this stage of the healing process.
An itching tattoo is a healing tattoo. The skin that is peeling up is colored like the tattoo—is my tattoo coming off? No, that is natural. That skin will fall off and be replaced with the fresh skin that is underneath it. A tattoo is VERY bright when it is first completed; during the healing process it starts to look discolored and dull. My tattoo is scabbing. Scabbing sometimes happens during the healing of a tattoo and can last weeks after.
When you over apply aftercare, it covers the skin and keeps it from breathing. If you have been using aftercare heavily, let the tattoo dry out for a day. The lotion absorbs into the skin and will let the tattoo breathe.
It is very hard to over apply lotion. My tattoo seems to be losing ink. It is runny, wet and it looks like the ink is coming out. It sounds like the tattoo is leaching. When too much aftercare is applied, the body will naturally try to push whatever is on top off so it can breathe. Wash the tattoo off and pat it dry.
Do not put anything on it for one day. Continue using the lotion until it heals completely. I found it easy to apply the lotion, though it had a thicker consistency so it took a little longer to rub in. Once rubbed into the skin, however, I immediately noticed its effects. It is ideal for sensitive skin and its color-enhancing and healing properties help decrease the usual healing time often required for a new tattoo.
After Inked is an aftercare lotion 2. It is endorsed by tattoo artists and studios worldwide. This product has a base of aqua purified water and synthetic beeswax. It also has a lovely, natural scent which comes from citrus oil. Other active ingredients include grape seed oil, shea butter, and jojoba oil. The grape seed oil is an anti-inflammatory and a source of vitamins E, C, and B, while shea butter and jojoba oil aid in keeping the skin moist. I found this to be a highly effective lotion, though it had more of a glycerine-type consistency.
I did find that it helped my skin heal faster and soothed the skin, relieving some of the discomfort associated with tattoos. It also smelled great! I could easily rub the lotion into the tattoo, and my skin remained moisturized until the next application was due. Tattoos can be an expensive habit.
Whether you've gotten one or one hundred, you've invested a fair amount of time and money into your piece of art. Once you step outside that studio, however, it's up to you to make sure you and your tattoo stay healthy.
